We babysit your databases so you don't have to.
40–60% cheaper than hiring a grumpy DBA full-time.
Excellent question. Sit down. We'll explain with unnecessarily large numbers.
A full-time senior DBA costs a fortune — salary, bonuses, coffee, ergonomic chair, team lunches, their inexplicable obsession with Oracle certifications. We cost less and never complain about the office temperature.
Your database doesn't sleep. Neither do we. (Okay, we sleep in shifts, but your database won't notice.) 3am crash? We're on it before you've even processed the alert email.
No onboarding, no offboarding, no "we need to talk about your PTO" meetings. Just pure, unfiltered database expertise delivered to your infrastructure with zero office politics.
You get a whole team of DBAs for the price of a fraction of one. Oracle specialist, tuning guru, backup wizard — it's like a database Avengers, but with slightly fewer capes.
Real work. Done by real humans. Who genuinely enjoy this stuff (we've checked).
We check that your database is alive and not silently planning its own demise. Alerts, dashboards, proactive fixes before things explode.
Adding users, removing users, making sure Dave from accounting didn't accidentally get DBA privileges again. Classic Dave.
Monitoring disk usage, adding datafiles, extending tablespaces before they fill up at 11pm on a Friday. Very fun to prevent.
Applying patches, PSUs, security fixes. Not the most glamorous work, but critical unless you enjoy news articles about your company.
Reading alert logs so you don't have to. We actually enjoy finding ORA-600 errors at dawn. (One of us does, anyway.)
Controlled maintenance windows, orderly shutdowns, graceful restarts. No "have you tried turning it off and on again" energy here.
That query running for 4 hours? Probably runs in 3 seconds after we look at it. Execution plans are our love language.
Deep dive into performance reports, identifying bottlenecks, wait events, and the query someone wrote in 2009 that's still haunting your system.
Creating, rebuilding, dropping indexes. Too few? Slow queries. Too many? Slow inserts. We find the sweet spot.
Updating optimizer statistics, analyzing tables, making sure the query planner isn't making hilariously wrong decisions.
SGA, PGA, buffer pools — tweaking the knobs that make your database hum rather than wheeze.
SQL Plan Baselines, hints, outlines — making sure Oracle doesn't randomly decide to full-scan a 2TB table because Mercury is in retrograde.
Configuring, scheduling, monitoring backups. Testing them too — because an untested backup is just a promise.
Setting up standby databases, managing switchovers and failovers. Your Plan B, professionally maintained.
"Someone deleted the production table." Don't panic. We've brought databases back from worse. Much worse.
How long should backups live? We'll configure policies that satisfy compliance, storage, and your sanity simultaneously.
Regular test restores to verify your backups actually work. Revolutionary concept, we know.
Keeping an eye on lag, errors, and sync status so your replicas stay, well, replicas and not divergent alternate timelines.
Deep inspection of your setup — security, performance, configuration, best practices. We write a report. You implement it. Everyone wins.
Moving to a new server, upgrading versions, migrating to cloud. We've done it. We'll do it calmly and without drama.
Setting up a new Oracle/Postgres/MSSQL instance from scratch, properly, with all the right configs from day one.
Locking down access, auditing privileges, removing default users, making your database harder to hack than it currently is (no offense).
Writing the runbooks and diagrams your future self will be grateful for at 2am during an incident. You're welcome in advance.
Developer wrote something unspeakable in SQL? We'll review it diplomatically. Or bluntly. Client's choice.
We're fluent in all of them. Though one holds a special place in our caffeinated hearts.
365 days a year. No holidays, no sick days, no "I'll look at it Monday" vibes.
Incidents get responded to in minutes, not in the morning.
Totally real quotes from definitely real people.
Our Oracle database was running so slow I thought it was doing it on purpose. Dataminds fixed it in two days. I cried a little.
I used to wake up at 3am convinced the database was down. Now I sleep like a baby. A baby who knows their data is being watched over by professionals.
We saved so much money outsourcing our DBA work that we bought an espresso machine for the office. Productivity is up 300%.

We're a team of database professionals who genuinely love what we do. (We've accepted it. Therapy didn't help.)
Whether you need ongoing 24/7 DBA support, a one-time audit, performance tuning, or someone to blame when things go wrong (though they won't) — we're here.
